I'm a royal uncle, the emperor's uncle. Once, an idle observer surveyed the state of our dynasty and identified three great scourges of the court. Wang Qin was a corrupt official of immense greed, leaving the treasury empty. Yun Tang played favorites and formed cliques, corrupting the government. But Prince Huai abused his power, making him the worst scourge of all and a threat to the throne. That greatest scourge, that vile power-monger, the biggest blight of them all, is none other than yours truly, Prince Huai Cheng Jun. All I can say about that is, I'm quite helpless. The truth is, I've always been loyal and kept to my proper role. I have no desire to seize power, much less covet the throne. I dare say there is no one in this dynasty more loyal than I am. The sad thing is, hardly anyone in the whole world believes I'm a loyal subject.
I really like Da Feng and Xiao Liu in her works
